The Federal Shariat Court (FSC) issued its decision on the minimum marriage age as part of the Sindh Child Marriages Restriction Act 2013 on Monday. According to reports, the minimum age of marriage being 18 years is not in contradiction with Islam.
The bench, which included sitting Chief Justice Syed Muhammad Anwar and Justice Khadim Hussain M. Sheikh, gave the verdict.
Ali Azhar, Arzoo Fatima’s ex-husband, filed the suit, which disputed Sections 2A and 8 of the Sindh Child Marriages Restriction Act 2013. The court dismissed the petition and ruled that the government had the jurisdiction to set a minimum marriage age. Moreover, the court found that this action did not violate Islamic law.
It is important to note that Azhar contended in his plea that the Sindh Child Marriages Restriction’s minimum marriage age of 18 years was not in accordance with Islamic law.

Phir Kon se umar main shadi Karni chaiya
Kam uz kam 18 saal mein, duffer!
18 years of age for marriage is not required in Islam. A muslim can marry after puberty.
Kahan likha ha bahi
France mein 15 Saal mein allow ha
America mein 18
Phir aik France ka citizen rape kar raha ha American k mutabiq
Glad the age was upheld. But who are they to make judgments for the democratic people of Pakistan? Only the democratically elected legislative body should have the power to legislate, not some random people who no one voted for.
Objective Resolution of Pakistan already states that supremacy lies with Allah SWT. So there is no room for debate regarding rulings put forth by Quran Kareem.
yep you are glad to hear a girl of 15 years of age can have sex with her boyfriend can kiss her boyfriend but she can’t have marriage nice
Your so called democratic elected, are too busy securing future seats for their kith and kin,then do jobs they are elected to do so. WhAT DO WE HAVE IN PAKISTAN THAT IS DEMOCRATICALLY elected. Democracy and Pakistan are two words that ,do not exist on the same page.
Everything takes time. We haven’t had democracy for more than 3 years in a row. Making non-elected random people decide the fate of the country is what lead Germans to become Nazis. If we keep agreeing with non–democratic norms we will become one.
Mr Waqas…. When selected bodies remain unable to work for public welfare then un selected will come to secure their rights….In a democracy It’s public right to make all isntitions and selected bodies answerable to public. In Pakistan we need public power to make them accountable
Payaray bhayya, ye faislay judges hi kartay hain sari duniya main. Ap pata nhi kis se krwana chahty ho. CJ, lux people’s choice award se nhi bna sktay us k liye aur tareeqa hota hai.
“Islami Nazaryati Council” is NOT the Judicial system.
Who The Hell Is This ? What Do You Think Who The Fuck Can Make This Judgment.These People Have No Right To Make Any Discussion About Out Democratic Country We Have No Place For These People In Our Country.Pakistan Is A Secular Country We Have No Place For These Laws !
Totally wrong decision according to islam, He should study about islam with full wisdom and open mind and heart before giving decision,
According to islam, males and females should get married very soon after become adult, and nowadays males become adult at age of 13 to 15, hardly 16, and females become adult at the age of 9 to 11, hardly 13

Totally unislamic to set an age limit on marriage. Prohibiting something on yourself which isnt prohibited by the creator is also haram in islam, but wait lets not forget that the so called islamic republic of Pakistan is a big JOKE
That’s not even true. The holy Prophet PBUH married Hazrat Ayesha when Ayesha had reached puberty. In Islam, a person becomes responsible for their own actions after the age of puberty! These judges will simply take the entire nation to hell.
Pakistan and its people sure suffer the wrath of Allah.. Declaring them self a Muslim country but making laws inline with western laws and against the Islamic laws…. Just wait wrath of Allah have already begins it will just get worst good luck make more laws against Islam like approving restricting marriages, LGBQT and many more…
Is main kya ghair islami hai?
It is the responsibility of the legislative and parliamentarian is to certain the minimum age for marriage, not those who have not voted for.
Qanooni nuktay qanoon dan hi sahi bta sktay hain. Waise to Rana sana ullah sb b parliamentarian hain aur mazi main b thay. Wazeer e qanoon b. Ap un ka faisla lena chahty ho is per?
People saying ke elected body has the right are so ignorant that they are bound by the Constitution which clearly says no legislation can be against Islamic law.
So please have some logic.
Like judges Sharia court is also not doing justice as its absolutely clear that Islam allows marriage once you become adult irrespective of age.
Shame on them.
